How to Use Ziploc Bags with a Foodsaver - scissors

Method

• Place the food in the bag and trim off the zipper with some scissors.
• Cut the zipper into 2 pieces and place 1 off the zippers vertically in the middle of the bag.
• Trim the zipper to just above the bag.
• Now, just use your foodsaver as you normally would and viola, a vacuum sealed bag on the cheap.
• TIP: Depending on the thickness of the plastic bag, you may have to run the cycle 2 or 3 times to get a proper seal.
• With the thin sandwich bag that I used, I only had to run it once.
